Regulation of Glycolysis Involves All of the Following Except __________

Question

Regulation of glycolysis involves all of the following except __________.
A) insulin
B) glucagon
C) SREBP1c
D) AMPK
E) None of the above are correct.

Accepted Answer

Insulin, glucagon, SREBP1c (Sterol Regulatory Element-Binding Protein 1c), and AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) all play roles in the regulation of glycolysis. Insulin promotes glucose uptake and glycolysis, glucagon generally works to increase glucose production and release by the liver, SREBP1c is involved in the regulation of genes necessary for lipid and glucose metabolism, and AMPK activates glucose uptake and glycolysis in response to cellular energy depletion.
